As we work to accomplish our mission we will be guided by our beliefs:

• In the worth and dignity of every person;
• That all are entitled to equal rights, justice and opportunity regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability;
• That free enterprise and individual initiative are the conerstone of economic growth, opportunity and prosperity;
• That honest and responsible government must be limited in its scope of authority, efficient in its operations, transparent in its dealings and accountable to its citizens;
• That the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, leaving them free to create, achieve and succeed on their own initiative;
• That government must practice fiscal responsibility allowing individuals to keep more of the money that they earn;
• That government must work alongside of the residents of our community in order to provide excellent schools, safe communities and economic oppoertunities.
